Morris is charged with two counts of assault with intent to rob while armed, a felony punishable by up to life in prison, and two counts of possessing a firearm while committing a felony, which carries a mandatory sentence of two additional years in prison.

Muskegon County 60th District Judge Michael J. Nolan set Morris' bond at $250,000 and scheduled a preliminary examination for 11 a.m. Sept. 6.

Muskegon Township police officers, in the right place at the right time, arrested Morris moments after an employee of The Tire Lady, 2294 S. Getty in Muskegon, reportedly managed to grab the gun away from him.

The incident was reported at 1:37 p.m. by one of the two employees held at gunpoint by the masked man just a minute after Muskegon Township police officers Mike Weaver and Russell Swanson arrived on scene.

The officers had just left Ramos and Sons Auto Body, 2462 S. Getty, and were heading back to Muskegon Township when they passed the tire repair shop and noticed a scuffle going on.

The officers pulled in, took the gun and handcuffed the suspect, whom two male employees had been holding down. The township officers remained on the scene until Muskegon city police arrived.
